Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-TRIGONOMETRIC-FUNCTIONS-010 · ★★★ Advanced
Is \(\sin z\) bounded on \(\mathbb{C}\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. No: \(|\sin(iy)|=\sinh|y|\) grows without bound
Explanation
On the imaginary axis \(|\sin(iy)|=\sinh|y|\to\infty\). Periodicity holds only in the real direction and does not prevent growth; also \(\sin z\) is continuous on the whole plane.
Review the concept: Complex trigonometric functions
The sine \(\sin z\) and cosine \(\cos z\) of a complex number \(z\) are the functions that extend the real ones through the complex exponential \(e^{iz}\).
\[\sin z=\frac{e^{iz}-e^{-iz}}{2i},\qquad \cos z=\frac{e^{iz}+e^{-iz}}{2}\]
